Wahl designer clipper

I bought a Wahl designer clipper several months ago.It was working fine last week.When I went to cut my husband's hair last night, the clipper made a low humming sound but the blades were not moving. I tried removing and reattaching the blade, adjusting the power screw and adjusting the lever on the side but nothing helped. Any ideas?
Thanks

My Wahl Clippers have a low humming sound, the blades are not moving so there is no cutting happening. This is exactly like the last posting. My husband took it apart and could not see how to fix anything.

Help.

How do you open it to remove the old batteries?How do you open it to remove the old batteries?

Have you been oiling the blades? If you ran out of oil you can use any light machine oil available at any hardware store. If you feel comfortable opening the unit you will be able to see the electromagnet inside and watch what is going on. If all else fails Buy a new set (the exact kind) and keep the receipt. Swap them out and return it from the store where you purchased it. You paid good money for them and they should not have died so quickly. The store will get full credit for it when they return it to the manufacturer so it is not that morally bad. The manufacturer should bare the burden because of the poor quality control that allowed your clipper to die in such a short period of time. Hope you find this solution helpful and the last option is a surefire fix...George

The power screw is the correct way to adjust the problem you describe. If you have attempted to adjust it as instructed in the user manual and have not had satisfactory results, there may be a problem with the clippers. Most Wahl clippers have a 1 year or longer warranty. You can call Wahl for warranty service at 1-800-334-4627

from the picture you have here, That I see you have a Wahl 8554 Wahl Alpha cordless clipper. but you stated the model 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer model, You need to be sure of what model you have. He are the two picture of each model. if this is correct, Mannys Sharpening has the charger for this cordless clipper, I had the same problem and he sent me one it took about 2 weeks for delivery.The clipper on your Left is Wahl 9918

This clipper is the Wahl Alpa 8554 cordless
Call Mannys Sharpening he has all the replacement charger for Wahl.

This is always a problem with clippers, it's just a matter of holding the blades tightly in place and getting the screws in as tightly as possible without letting the blades go. This has always worked for me in the past.
